1 / 5About LIGHTNING DECO JNL Font
What started out as a type design based on the marquee sign from the State Theater in Altoona, PA [which was showcased in the Sept. 17, 1938 issue of Motion Picture Herald] ran into a problem.
By itself, the characters looked like too many similar solid (counterless) Art Deco sans designs.ย Not wanting to waste a perfectly useful idea, lightning bolts were cut into the letters and it was transformed into a novelty display font.
Lightning Deco JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.
